The answer.
If by ancient and common, you meane that religion which A∣dam receiued of God, and by him was deliuered to all mankind, and which Christ deliuered to his whole church, then we accorde with you, that it is that, which we are to folow, and to striue for. But if you meane that, which for some ages hath béene common, and therfore beareth some shewe of antiquitie, then we dissent from you. Bicause whiles you séeke to establish your popery, you are not ashamed to make Christ to exhort men either to supersti∣cious Iudaisme, or to idolatrous Gentilisme. For at that time there were none other religions commonly receiued, and embra∣ced but these: and neither of them both, but did beare a greater shew of antiquitie, then in truth euer did poperie.
